Eli Ashkenazi, Haaretz Correspondent, News Agencies and Haaretz Service: IDF troops kill third Palestinian fire-bomber within 3-day period
Talkback
Title:A firebomb is a lethal weapon
Name:Ilan
City: ArielState:
When someone throws a firebomb at a civilian vehicle (the normal case and the intent in this instance) it is always life threatening and in many cases lethal. Given the choice between shooting the attackers and risking them escaping to return to kill civilians the only moral choice is use as much force as needed to apprehend them. Playing with fire has the risk of getting burnt.
